Do you buy the same supermarket basil every fortnight and watch it die? Have you planted twelve herbs and used three? Which ones actually survive a windowsill, and which need a bed outside?
The Herb Garden Planner on EizTools works backwards from what you cook. Tell it what you use and where you have space, and it returns a planting plan with care notes attached.
Short answer: The Herb Garden Planner is a free AI tool that plans a herb garden around your space and cooking. Describe your site and what you use, set the timeframe and format, then generate a written plan.
What is Herb Garden Planner?
It is a free planning tool for herbs specifically, rather than a whole vegetable plot. You describe your windowsill, balcony or bed and what you actually cook with, and the Herb Garden Planner writes out what to plant, where and when. No account, no limit, nothing to install.
Six Herbs Beat Twenty
The most common mistake with a first herb garden is range. Twelve pots of things you use twice a year take the same watering as six pots you cook with weekly.
- Start from your recipes, not from a garden centre shelf
- Perennials like rosemary, thyme and sage pay back for years
- Annuals like basil and coriander need resowing, sometimes monthly
- Mint goes in a pot, always, unless you want only mint
- Two plants of anything you use heavily beats one of everything
Say what you cook in the prompt and the plan narrows itself for you.
How Does Herb Garden Planner Work?
Describe your site in the prompt box: indoors or out, how much sun it gets, container or ground, your climate, and the herbs you use most. Choose a model, set the options in the accordion, then generate.
The plan lands in the output card, where a pill shows the word count. Copy it, listen to it read aloud while you are potting up, or take it away as TXT, Word or HTML. Runs from earlier in the session stay listed underneath, so an indoor plan and an outdoor one can be compared.
Timeframe, Format And Notes
| Setting | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Timeframe as Year | Sowing, harvesting and cutting back across the seasons |
| Timeframe as Month | What to do right now, which is what most people want |
| Format as Table | A herb by herb reference you can keep |
| Format as Calendar | A sowing and harvesting schedule |
This is the shared planning panel that the plan tools all use. Include Notes is the toggle worth switching on here, because it attaches the small practical warnings, such as which herbs bolt in heat and which resent being moved.
Planned around your cooking
Herbs chosen from what you actually use, so nothing sits unpicked until it flowers and goes woody.
Succession sowing
Annual herbs need resowing through the season, and a calendar format is the only way that gets remembered.
Alternatives for tricky spots
Include Alternatives suggests what to grow instead when a site is too shady or too cold for the obvious choice.
Tip Say how many hours of direct sun your spot gets. It is the single most useful thing you can tell the planner, and it rules out more suggestions than climate does.
Using anything on EizTools costs nothing and needs no account, with a model selector on every page and options built for each tool rather than shared across the site. Once the herbs are growing, the Recipe Generator is a natural next stop for using a glut of basil before it bolts, and the free tools hub holds the rest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Herb Garden Planner free?
Yes, completely, so you can replan as your space or your cooking changes.
Can it plan a windowsill herb garden?
Yes. Say the window's direction and how many hours of sun it gets. Indoor herb growing is limited by light far more than by anything else.
Which herbs are easiest to start with?
Ask for beginner friendly options in the prompt. Hardy perennials generally forgive neglect better than annuals, which need resowing and regular picking.
Does it know my climate?
Only what you tell it. Name your region or climate zone in the prompt, since sowing dates and which herbs survive winter change completely between them.
A herb garden is one of the few growing projects where less is genuinely better. Six pots you walk past and pick from beat a full bed you visit twice a summer.
Describe your spot and your cooking in the box above, and plant fewer things than the plan suggests.
